fiscal cliff talks and the latest on secretary of state hillary clinton's concussion. in light of friday's events, the conversation of the fiscal cliff has taken on a different tone. both sides are aware this is not the time for pettiness. over the weekend, house speaker john boehner made a significant concession. he proposed a republican counteroffer that would raise tax rates on incomes of $1 million or more from 800 billion to around $1 trillion. in exchange he is looking for cuts in entitlements, a number close to $1 trillion. the last offer was $600 billion. both sides would agree to broughten taxes and reform and include mow triggers in fiscal cliffs. it would raise the debt ceiling to last until next year, possibly buying down sequestration. i will take you live to newtown, connecticut with the first press conference of the day. >> relative to educational process here in town. let's talk about the schools right now with lieutenant sinko. >> it's still going on and schools are working closely with the faculty, students and parents to try to be respectful and resu
